Tree Removal and Replanting
When trees outgrow their space or need to be moved for construction, we carefully remove and replant them in more suitable areas, using local knowledge and proper equipment.
Palm Tree Relocation
Moving a palm tree takes planning and experience. Especially here in Southern California, they grow tall and deeply rooted.
We use advanced equipment and techniques to relocate palms safely without harming their roots or structure. From mature Mexican fan palms to Canary Island and pygmy varieties, we get them replanted and ready to grow.
Fruit Tree Transplanting
Fruit trees can be sensitive to changes, so moving them takes the right approach and timing. Our professional tree movers evaluate root health, soil, and site conditions to ensure the relocation supports continued growth and fruit production.
We have successfully transplanted citrus, fig, and other fruit trees throughout Orange County for new builds, garden redesigns, and more.
Large Tree Transplanting
Larger trees need heavy equipment and experienced hands. Our ISA-certified arborists use crane lifts, tree spades, and prepare proper planting holes to relocate mature trees without stress or damage.
We have relocated oaks, olives, and other mature species across Orange County properties, including Irvine, Mission Viejo, and Santa Ana.

How much does it cost to relocate a tree?
It depends on the tree’s size, how easy it is to access, and how far it’s being moved. Bigger trees or tight spots usually cost more. We give clear estimates after a quick site check.
Can you transplant a japanese maple?
Yes, we can transplant a Japanese maple here in Orange County. They are delicate, but with the right timing and technique, especially during cooler months, we move them safely without stressing the tree.
When to transplant a tree?
The best time to transplant a tree in Orange County is during the cooler months, fall through early spring. That’s when the tree’s less active and can adjust better to its new spot before the summer heat kicks in.
How often to water bare root trees?
Water bare root trees right after planting and keep the soil consistently moist for the first few months.
In Orange County’s dry climate, that usually means watering deeply two to three times a week until the roots are established.
